BlogHer ’11 Special Needs Mini-Conference Recap
As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the things that must must must be on my calendar at any BlogHer is the gathering of the Special Needs bloggers. Because, we’re special, y’all. Just like in previous years, I was able to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. This year instead of …
Movie Review: The Help
Saturday night at BlogHer, Disney hosted a screening of the new movie The Help. I initially felt completely guilty about spending (evening) time at the conference sitting and staring at a screen rather than networking at parties or having a dinner with close friends. It took a little bit, but after being utterly wiped after …
I’m going to BlogHer (along with 3,000+ others…)
It’s that time of year again! The female end of the blogosphere is awash in BlogHer posts. What to do, what to see, what parties are the happening ones to be at, and dare I add, what swag is worth grabbing. It’s bigger! It’s better! It’s crazier! I’m not really all into that, but if …
Borders Books and Music Declaring Bankruptcy Affects More than the Store
Today, I’m hanging out on BlogHer, talking about Borders. For those not following the business press, Borders filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this morning, and announced they were closing over 200 stores. I wrote a rather personal post about my experiences with the account, giving a shout out to one of my buyers, Carla Bayha, …
Recap of BlogWorld Expo, plus a little *sizzle*
As I mentioned here and here, I was fortunate to attend my first BlogWorld Expo last month. Having never gone before, I was eager to experience this social media conference in all ways possible. Meaning, as a speaker, an attendee, and a sponsor. I’m going to try to cover the conference from all three perspectives, as …
Drink of Water
Yes, a drink of water would be good for the drought around here. It’s been a busy summer, and no, it wasn’t so busy that I couldn’t write about it, but things go that way sometimes. A summer with a 2 week trip out of the country, a blogging conference that feels like it runs a …
Celeb-u-mania at BlogHer-2009 Author Edition
It isn’t a BlogHer without a celebrity spotting. And this one was pretty darn cool. That’s me with the most gracious and wonderful Jen Lancaster – we were both in the Blog To Book session. I won’t go into depth about the session, because it wasn’t the most helpful session for wanna-be-published-authors, IMHO. I spent …
I'm #4!
I talked with this reporter during a break at BlogHer Business while I was in Chicago. I figured I wouldn’t get quoted at all, but there I am, #4. Sharing the stage, no less, with Darren Rowse at #5. And a picture of Perez Hilton. This is something to share with my mother. Put in …
BlogHer Business 2009 Recap
Last year, I was fortunate to attend BlogHer Business. At that point, it was a 2 day conference held in winter in NYC. I was so jazzed about it, and the inspiration it gave me, that I was moved to write this and this post. This year, I attended BlogHer Business 2009. It was held …
BlogHer 09 Recap
If you’re following Twitter or the Blogosphere, you know that there is a LOT being said, in support of and critically speaking about the conference. And that’s ok. Unlike BlogHer Business, which I covered here, it was a really good experience. I’ve come up with a few points I wanted to share, but really want …
(Your sponsorship here)
I’m back from BlogHer 09 (which given my tweets of the past few days, I am surprised I did not automatically call #blogher09 here) and starting to process what went on. I have a unique perspective, in that I attend BlogHer both as a blogger, and a female (dare I say “Mommy”?) blogger, but also …
Blogging BlogHer – Live from Chicago
I’m almost through with BlogHer Business and am getting ready for the mania of BlogHer 09 tomorrow and Saturday. It’s kind of overwhelming and comforting, new and yet familiar. I’m happy to see some old friends and meet some new faces. I’m especially glad to have my co-workers here – always good to have some …

Well, we’ve got a great offering for ya… Our rock star photography author Erin Manning will be hosting a FREE photography workshop for a select number of attendees. Join us for a lunchtime outing to explore and learn about digital photography techniques and quick fixes to …
AP Article on Elizabeth and John Edwards quoting me
Last Friday, a call went out via @skydiver on Twitter for ordinary people to comment on the John Edwards cheating allegations and his forthcoming interview confession. I sent a note to the reporter with some thoughts, and after a follow-up phonecall with her, I wound up quoted in the piece. Like many in Chicago at …
